Paste special into LO 5.3 only produces one page

Hello!

Open the document with M$ Word 2016.

Select COPY ALL.

Go to LO 5.3 and right-click and select: "PASTE SPECIAL"->"MS WORD".

We will only get one page in Writer.

I do not see why would it be a bug. The said Paste Special option pastes an OLE object, that is an embedded MS Word inside the Writer document. All the OLE objects are, from the point of view of the host application, a kind of graphic. Double-clicking and activating the OLE object opens it as a Word frame, with all the data available there, as intended in all OLE objects.

In fact, Paste Special in MS Word, using the same format, produces exactly the same result.

A note for people confirming / setting NEW. Please note, that seeing the same as the reporter doesn't necessarily mean that you see a bug.
